Since both Wrangler 4xe models cost over $45,000, they are not eligible to the additional $5,000 reduction from the federal government.
“The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the greenest, most efficient and capable Wrangler we have created yet,” said Christian Meunier, Global President of Jeep Brand. “We are committed to making Jeep the greenest SUV brand, and the new Wrangler 4xe is part of that goal, delivering an efficient, eco-friendly and fun-to-drive experience both on- and off-road.”
This plug-in hybrid Wrangler generates 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, sprints from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in just over six seconds, and provides a zero-emission range of about 40 kilometres—significantly less than the Toyota RAV4 Prime (68 km) and Ford Escape PHEV (61 km). Fuel consumption is an estimated 4.7 Le/100 km.

The base Sahara features 20-inch wheels, a body-coloured hard top, LED headlights and taillights, leather-trimmed bucket seats, Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4-inch display, as well as a nine-speaker, 552-watt Alpine audio system.
